Whoever Remains in Me Will Produce Much Fruit

We can produce the fruit of the Spirit if we remain with Christ. This is the main theme of the Gospel today.

The Second Reading (1 Jn. 3:18-24) draws our attention to another point. Our faith is manifested by works of love. This ensure that we possess the life of God.

The First Reading (Acts 9:26-31) tells us of Paul who, in spite of all difficulties, misunderstandings, and suspicions, remained in union with Christ and with His disciples.
